Include women in women's health issues.This petition is to involve women when it comes to women's health. Sandra Fluke is a women's health advocate. She was told by Illinois congressman Joe Walsh to "get a job" and to stop acting "entitled". Sandra was denied the opportunity to speak at the all male congressional panel meeting about women's health issues. This feels like we are moving backwards as a society and not forward. Since when do we let men and only men decide what is best for women's health regardless of topic? I thought we already fought our war for women's rights. Now its time to fight again and prevail! Help me to bring to an end all male panels about women's health issues.8 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Nicole Painter

The man was convicted of the crime but the judge refused to give him jail time or have him register as a sex offender. All women are victimized when one of us is treated in this way.4 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Lila Berman

Giving a voice to female soldiersPotential rape victims in the military must request a transfer from commanding officer. He or she has 72 hours to approve or deny the request. The problem is that the commanding officer may have been the original perpetrator, or sympathetic to the aggressor. 72 hours allows for retaliation against these victims.7 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kelli Volk

Oppose criminalizing abortionIt has come to the attention of the people of North Dakota that in 2007 Representative Rick Berg voted in favor of North Dakota House Bill 1489 which would have imposed severe legal penalties, including life in prison without the possibility of parole, on doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and all others who in any way "assist, aid, abet, solicit, or incite" a woman in the obtaining of an abortion. There is no exception made if the pregnancy to be terminated is the result of rape or incest. Even if the life of the woman is in danger, the law would mandate that a physician must make every effort to save the life of both mother and child. It is time for you to repudiate your support for this sort of legislation. Abortion is a medical procedure and as such must be decided by a woman in consultation with her health care professionals. No part of that process should be criminalized. Not in North Dakota. Not anywhere. I urge you to clearly state your opposition to measures which seek to criminalize abortions for any woman.35 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Carmen Nicodemus
